Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a mastectomy. The client expresses feelings of sadness and loss. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Have you considered joining a support group? This response shows empathy and offers a proactive solution to address the client's emotional needs. Support groups provide a safe space for individuals to share experiences and receive support from others who have gone through similar situations. It acknowledges the client's feelings and offers a practical way to cope with the sadness and loss.
Incorrect choices:
A: You should focus on the fact that you're alive - This response minimizes the client's emotions and does not address their need for support.
C: It's normal to feel this way; it will pass soon - While validating the client's feelings is important, this response lacks a proactive approach to help the client cope.
D: Why don't you talk to your surgeon about this? - While involving the surgeon may be necessary for medical concerns, emotional support from a support group would be more beneficial in this situation.
